After a few days hanging out in Inlay lake I headed north to Mandalay. To catch up with my friends that had headed on ahead I had to take a local bus and head for Kyuakme. I did manage to met up with them in Kyuakme where we spent the night. Kyuakme is a neat place to visit since almost no tourists stay there. We tried our hand at hitchhiking the next morning and easily caught a ride to Hsipaw.
Hsipaw was our starting point for some amazing hiking with Mitch Michael through tea plantations, rice farms, and the mountains.
